OK, so I am a newbie to java. I've been programming for a looong time
though. I am trying to set up a timer that opens a new browser window every
so often. I am trying to avoid using the <META refresh...> tag. But I can
not seem to get the code to work.

Below is the snippet from my web page.

What am I doing wrong. Is it the way I am declaring the classes? Or is it
something deeper that I have not yet learned. Any help from you java gurus
is welcomed!
